Abstract:

This research study looked into the prospective implementation of the Smart-Access Community Information System (SACIS). The respondents comprised 20 licensed local geodetic engineers who are duly registered with the Geodetic Engineers of the Philippines (GEP), as well as 30 Geodetic Engineering students from Baguio Central School. The study utilized a developmental-descriptive re-search design in conjunction with a descriptive survey approach to obtain comprehensive insights into stakeholder perceptions. Data were primarily collected through a structured questionnaire, which was carefully adapted and refined to ensure its validity, clarity, and appropriateness for addressing the research objec-tives. Based on the data collected, the study revealed several key findings: The current level of awareness regarding Smart Access to Land Information was assessed and established. Findings indi-cate that the Smart-Access platform is highly effective in terms of accessibility, accuracy, efficiency, and transparency. Moreover, the potential challenges that may arise during the future implementa-tion of the Smart Access Community Information System (SACIS) are perceived as very much serious by the respondents, under-scoring the need for careful planning and mitigation strategies to ensure successful deployment. The study concludes that the com-munity has moderate awareness of Smart Access Community In-formation System (SACIS), understanding its objectives and bene-fits but showing varied knowledge across its purpose, services, and impact. The Smart-Access platform is considered highly effec-tive, improving accessibility, accuracy, efficiency, and transpar-ency compared to traditional methods, and is recognized for en-hancing service delivery. However, respondents also perceive po-tential challenges—such as limited digital infrastructure, low dig-ital literacy, and resistance to change—as highly serious, high-lighting the need for proactive planning, capacity building, and targeted strategies to ensure successful implementation and sus-tainable use.
